Chapter: 689

“...”

At the silence of Yoon Baek Ho, Chun Yeowun waved his hand. That was when Yoo Baek Ho’s right wrist, which was placed on the ground got bent back, allowing the bone in the elbow to pierce through the skin.

Crack! Crack!

“Kyakk! Ugh!”

Imagine how painful it would be for a healthy bone to get broken and pierce through the skin. However, Yoon Baek Ho was unable to scream out in pain. All because of the energy that was blocking his mouth.

‘He, he doesn’t seem to be a telltale.’

While Chun Yeowun’s other hand was still holding onto the neck, he looked over at the eunuch who had turned pale at the sight. What’s more terrifying about Chun Yeowun was his cold eyes, he didn’t even blink when torturing the man in front of him.

“Kuakkkk...”

Since he couldn’t scream, Yoon Baek Ho began to shed tears forgetting that he was a military officer. Not giving a damn about it, Chun Yeowun continued with his questions.

“If you don’t answer me again, your other hand will meet with the same end.”

Humans are truly unique beings. Until a moment ago, he seemed righteous and has chosen death, but after tasting pain and suffering, his will easily collapsed. Once the intangible energy that was blocking his mouth disappeared, Yoon Baek Ho spoke.

“I am a spy for the Alumni.”

“Alumni? Like the eunuch?”

“I was trained in the Alumni, but I am no eunuch.”

Despite what the facts indicate, Chun Yeowun’s gaze turned disappointed. He thought that the ones in the warehouse were all spies of the Blade God Six Martial clan, but unexpectedly, they were spies from the Alumni. They were of no use to him.

‘Shall I just kill him?’

Chun Yeowun, while thinking, decided to ask one more thing.

“Why are you positioned as an Imperial Palace guard? Were you asked to keep an eye on crown prince?”

The eunuch’s eyes widened at the question.

‘Are they keeping an eye on Zhu Taikhan?’

At first, he thought that the spies were sent by the Golden Council or a person from the Imperial palace, like Joo Tae Gyeom.

“... We were ordered to find out if the prince had formed any kind of arrangement with the Lord of the Demonic Cult.”

‘To find out if he made an agreement with me?’

The man didn’t seem to be lying. He was certain that he was a spy of the Alumni and not the Blade God Six Martial clan. They were all spies who were asked to only keep an eye on the prince of the Imperial Palace.

It was to know whether prince Zhu Taekhan was trying to cross over the others. Yun Baek Ho, who had told all the facts leaned on the floor and prayed with his head down.

“Pl-please let go of me. If you show mercy on me, I will not cause any trouble for Your Majesty.”

He decided to betray the Alumni. And it was useless to kill him.

‘Begging for his life. Ugh. This spy wasn’t trained properly.’

He must have voluntarily reached out to be a spy, but no one would have thought that he would succumb so quickly. Of course, he was afraid. However, the words that Chun Yeowun uttered weren’t what Yoon Baek Ho was expecting at all.

“Did I tell you that I’ll let you go?”
